A weekend of 2 halves Pt1 - Thanks Tony

So it was a bank holiday weekend and I over booked myself. The weather forecast was amazing so I had a list of jobs to do. My brother in law and his family were due at my in-laws for a barbecue and I had arranged to meet my friend Graham and watch the Bellew/Haye fight together.

I headed into town first thing and on the way stopped at the Bookmakers and cashed in the bet I made on George Groves when he humiliated and embarrassed Eubanks Jnr, another fight where the obvious was ignored and the favourite was the man who hadn't fought anyone of quality, was smaller, had even turned down a World title shot after calling out the champion, but hey, who am I to argue if it means I get better odds on an obvious bet. My £10 stake netted me a total of £23.75 and I put the whole lot on Tony Bellew to beat David Haye. Bellew beat Haye a year ago and still wasn't the favourite.
I spent much of the day doing chores and the temperature was on the rise until I was a melting mess. It was perfect for the barbecue and I took along some "Pulled Oumph" and the kebab variant. It is vegan and gluten free and tastes amazing off the barbecue:

The kebab one works so well as a kebab, it isn't the same but it is close enough that stuffed into pitta bread with lettuce, coleslaw and chilli sauce makes for a very satisfying eat.

So my friend Graham came over and I had beer chilling in the fridge (Trooper beer...of course)

Before the fight started, as I was going to see the Wildhearts with my wife and my youngest the following day, and as this wasn't an event that my eldest would be interested in, I promised her my betting slip if Bellew won.
I joked with Graham that Haye would injure himself getting in the ring, so injury prone has he been

Rounds 1 and 2 were close, Bellew had come into the fight looking more like a big super middleweight, obviously he was conditioned for speed where Haye was far bulkier. I thought Haye looked a little ponderous and whilst he did catch Bellew with a cracker of a shot, Bellew took it well. Round 3 started and Haye started to unravel. Bellew was the lighter and faster man and retained the power in his right hand. Haye was put on the canvas and looked in pain (I thought he'd damaged his ankle again) and he managed to finish the round but the writing was writ clear, time was not on his side. He survived round 4 but come round 5, Bellew put him on the canvas again and despite managing to get up, the ref stepped in to stop it.
David Haye showed tremendous heart but he also showed signs of age, his body couldn't match the speed of Tony Bellew where once he could have. It didn't help that Tony Bellew read this fight 100% correctly, he showed great ring IQ and ability. I wouldn't write him off against anyone bar the elite heavyweights.
It looks like my eldest daughter gains around £60 from this and my betting record is 100% after 3 fights. Maybe I need to retire undefeated?
